In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.

Embracing Silence
The morning’s view at Reservoir Ridge Natural Area fresh blanket of snow
ms
covers cold open meadow
demanding silence -
Predawn Sky
early predawn sky
ms
morning bird songs are silent
quiet fills the air
listen to the inner voice
heart now filled with gratitude -
Predawn Mystery
in stillness and silence
ms
colors begin to appear
predawn mysteryI sit in the upper parking lot at Pineridge Natural Area for this morning’s sunrise. Below me the city slowly stirs awake. Here, in this natural area, nature has already begun stirring as chattering magpies sit atop cottonwood tree branches. The geese and ducks make small waves across the reservoir. The wind is still. In the cold I listen to the silence and experience a calming that I will carry into my day. This is becoming an integral part of my morning prayer and meditation. A few years ago I couldn’t imagine spending mornings like this. Now, living in the present is how I choose to begin my day. For each new dawn offers the mystery of this day’s events that only we can live and experience in the present moment.
